More quotes by Peter Drucker
One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.
Peter Drucker
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.
Peter Drucker
The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that results exist only on the outside.The result of a business is a satisfied customer. The result of a hospital is a satisfied patient. The result of a school is a student who has learned something and puts it to work ten years later. Inside an enterprise there are only costs.
Peter Drucker
In the modern corporation the decisive power, that of the managers , is derived from no one but the managers themselves controlled by nobody and nothing and responsible to no one. It is in the most literal sense unfounded, unjustified, uncontrolled and irresponsible power.
Peter Drucker
The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.
Peter Drucker
The most efficient way to produce anything is to bring together under one management as many as possible of the activities needed to turn out the product.
Peter Drucker
Defending yesterday is far more risky than making tomorrow.
Peter Drucker
As a rule we perceive what we expect to perceive... The unexpected is usually not received at all.
Peter Drucker
The leader of the past was a person who knew how to tell. The leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.
Peter Drucker
For new technology to replace old, it has to have at least ten times the benefit.
Peter Drucker
There are companies that are good at improving what they're already doing. There are companies that are good at extending what they're doing. And finally there are companies that are good at innovation. Every large company has to be able to do all three - improve, extend, and innovate - simultaneously.
Peter Drucker
True marketing starts...with the customer, his demographics, his realities, his needs, his values. It does not ask, What do we want to sell? It asks, What does the customer want to buy?
Peter Drucker
The Pertinent Question is NOT how to do things right - but how to find the right things to do, and to concentrate resources and efforts on them.
Peter Drucker
There's no such thing as knowledge management there are only knowledgeable people. Information only becomes knowledge in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it.
Peter Drucker
Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
Peter Drucker
To make knowledge productive, we will have to learn to see both forest and tree. We will have to learn to connect.
Peter Drucker
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change
Peter Drucker
Increasingly, politics is not about who gets what, when, how but about values, each of them considered to be absolute. Politics is about the right to life...It is about the environment. It is about gaining equality for groups alleged to be oppressed...None of these issues is economic. All are fundamentally moral.
Peter Drucker
Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right.
Peter Drucker
Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.
Peter Drucker
